Another one of the Vikings' unrestricted free agents has found a new home.

Offensive guard Geoff Schwartz has signed with the Kansas City Chiefs, he tweeted Friday, March 15. Schwartz pushed Brandon Fusco for some playing time at right guard during the middle of last season, but as Fusco improved toward the end of the year, Schwartz's chances to play dried up.

And with Fusco under contract, Schwartz's best bet to start seemed to be elsewhere. He found a new home with the Chiefs, who have been one of the league's most active teams during the first week of free agency.
